YOU are a crucial part of Nourish Every Mind. NEM would not be the huge success it is for our students and programs without your efforts. Thank you for being a champion for the students in our district!
This year, Nourish Every Mind will launch as a month-long community facing campaign filled with virtually delivered content and engagement opportunities. Our goal is to invite our community to learn more about the needs of the students and the impact of Foundation-funded resources in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.
May 1-6: Week 1 - Academic Support
May 8-13: Week 2 - Mental Health & Social Emotional Support
May 15-20: Week 3 - Equitable Access to Educational & Community Resources
May 22-27: Week 4 - Our Vision Forward — Making a Positive Impact!
On each of the weekly focus areas, there will be:
Our community will still hear directly from students, but we’re also encouraging parents and community members to share their experiences and questions so we can work together toward building a vision of what support for our community’s kids could look like in the future.
We want to inspire our community to raise at least $400,000 to ensure the Foundation can continue programs that fuel our students' success. As an advocate, you help when you share and engage with the Nourish Every Mind content – connecting the Foundation and our school communities in a more meaningful way.

It is easy to create a Facebook Fundraiser and we’d like all board trustees to create and share one the first week of May. Go to Facebook (easier on computer than phone) and look for the Fundraisers in the left-hand navigation list or by clicking on the Menus button and then selecting Create Fundraiser. Download instructions here.
Below is the text you can use in the Fundraiser description as well as a video How To if you need more support:
